What About Zooms?

RM4K has configured a package for budget-concious filmmakers - making use of expensive still camera lenses, rather than even more expensive PLs. These lenses, particularly the Zeisses, are still crisp and contrasty and equal in optical quality and speed to the best PLs - it's Carl Zeiss glass after all.

But zooms made for still cameras are not made to hold focus through a zoom. It can be done, but that capability means a very, very expensive lens - out of the realm of a lot of indy filmmakers who might like to shoot in 35.

So what we have instead are some seriously good primes and zooms intended for still cameras. Think of them as 'variable primes'.

And if you really have to have the zooms, we can do that, too. But at that point it's a PL kind of show (we can change the mount, but it's not something you want to do for just one or two shots).
